I had no intention of replacing my lug nuts...but since I just lost the key to the mcgard locks I might as well spend the money on the muteki!

The SR48 won't stick out too funky on the stock rays would they?

do not use tuner lugs on stock wheels!!! you will break the studs

How so? I thought lugs were lugs...

Please re-read initial post of this thread.

...Then come back and edit your post. :ugh2:

Eh they're track wheels, I don't care about scratches, they come off a lot, and there's no real harm using an impact to remove (just not to install!). Except for the part about the weak thin-walled adapters. They don't always break, so I've learned to just stock up on them (don't throw away old ones when I get new ones) since they're all the same pattern anyways.

So looks like I will need washer type lugs which the muteki are not?

Yes, the stock wheels need the washer-style, the Muteki's are cones.

the adapters are not meant to be used with an impact, that's wat i meant.

scratches on lug bores is more of a personal issue i have with wheels. i hate scuffed up wheels. :mad: thus i never take my wheels to the tire shop while still on the car (unless it's at tirerack... they use hand jacks and hand tools and low power drivers). :D

can i call you daddy and you buy me a set for christmas as well? :tiphat:

So where are we at in regards to Aluminium nuts? These are 7075 T6 aluminum, which is very strong from what I understand (I'm not a metallurgist though). If torqued properly = ok? Add anti-seize to be safe = good to go?

ding ding ding, we have a winner!

mr.gale- im sure they do fine as long as you use the entire thread allowed and 80lbs/ft.

minimum thread needed is 10mm for steel lugs, so perhaps you might need 13-14mm just to be on the safe side. i too have no scientific data on the strengths.

however i do know they strip a lot easier than steel lugs. :ugh:

If you plan on removing your wheels alot I would pass, otherwise they are fine to use

Under no circumstance should you use anti-seeze on your lugs or studs though

:iagree:
